BARTLETT — Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton regaled a crowd of about 300 people at the Grover Cleveland Dinner at Attitash Grand Summit Hotel on Wednesday night, taunting Republicans, chastising hedge fund managers, calling for gun control and sharing a folksy expression from Arkansas.
Clinton, the ex-senator from New York as well as former secretary of state, is jockeying with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for first place in the Democratic polls and has spent a lot of time in New England over the past few months.
